City Releases Plan to Advance Racial Equity and Announces Two Resident-led Task Forces

10/21/2020

0 Comments

 
The City today released its Plan to Advance Racial Equity, following more than a year of activity and community collaboration. The plan recommends, among other actions, the formation of two resident-led task forces that will undertake long-term processes to evaluate, report on, and propose recommendations to address racism and other types of discrimination in Bloomington, including within the context of law enforcement.
​

The Plan to Advance Racial Equity derives from the engagement of The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law and its Divided Community Project (DCP)/Bridge Initiative in the summer of 2019, when issues surrounding racism led to the temporary suspension of the Bloomington Community Farmers’ Market. The Bridge Initiative facilitated the process of addressing community conflict by activating and channeling the community’s own resources and leadership.

City Parks Department Launches Website to Connect A Fair of the Arts Customers with Local Artisans

10/21/2020

3 Comments

 
​The City of Bloomington Parks and Recreation Department, like dozens of other art fair event planners, opted not to hold the monthly A Fair of the Arts art and fine craft fair last summer due to concerns and restrictions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. 
​
To give customers opportunities to support local small businesses and the arts, the Department created a website that features links to the websites of more than 50 area artisans and studios. Shoppers who would ordinarily visit the in-person A Fair of the Arts can shop and buy directly from their favorite artist or fine craftsperson safely from a physically distanced, internet-enabled device like a smartphone or tablet.
 
The website, afairoftheartsbtown.weebly.com, is a stunning collection of gallery images and lists of artists and studios divided by their type of work. Shoppers may browse through categories including clay, glass, jewelry, woodwork and metalwork, personal care, fiber arts, drawing/painting/photography, natural materials, and recycled arts. Purchases are made from the artist's own website; the afairoftheartsbtown.weebly.com site has only links and listings.

CARDINAL SPIRITS RELEASES BOURBON AND RYE WIDELY IN INDIANA FOR FIRST TIME

10/20/2020

Picture
​Bloomington, Ind. — Cardinal Spirits, the craft distillery in Bloomington, Ind., has released a Straight
Bourbon Whiskey and a Straight Rye Whiskey that are available widely in Indiana for the first time.
​
For these two spirits, Cardinal Spirits sourced from the very best: MGP, a storied distillery that has
been making fine whiskeys in Lawrenceburg, Ind., since 1847. This isn’t Cardinal Spirits’ first brush with
MGP: for years, Cardinal Spirits has grown its private-label spirits program by selecting barrels from
MGP. Over time, Cardinal Spirits gained access to top-notch barrels of MGP bourbon and rye, and has
used them to create delicious blends, straight whiskeys, and single barrel selections.
